Arceus' POV
I have heard from Lugia that my reincarnated trainer had his appearance at the cove, which is convenient since Lugia was also there.
"I see that he got Celebi and Diancie." I stated, he even managed to gain those two's trust.
"Yes it is, my lord, but what surprised us is how he found the cove with ease." Lugia then wondered, sure the passage was a lot harder to spot.
"Who knows? That makes him much more worthy of owning those two." I replied to Diving Pokemon, it was a good choice reincarnating him here.
"What's more surprising is that his connection to Pokemons are far stronger than anyone else." I stated.
"He'll be able to reach new heights together with his pokemons, far greater than anyone else."
"And he'll be unstoppable."
Ash's POV
I felt the familiar power surging around me, I've felt this feeling before, from...Greninja, yes, from Greninja, I am able to see sights through Gardevoir too, I can also feel her power sharply rising.
"He did it, Bond Phenomenon." Diancie stated and stared at the newly form Gardevoir.
"You know about it?" Leaf asked the diamond pokemon, it nodded in response.
"Many centuries ago, something similar happened, it was a mysterious man who did it together with his Lucario." Diancie explained, still staring at the Gardevoir, to which Koharu and Leaf was just shocked to hear that.
"Wh-What is that thing!" The leader of the poachers shivered, sure they haven't seen that kind of appearance.
"You'll regret laying a hand on Meloetta." I said darkly, disgusted at those poachers. I feel like Gardevoir also felt the same and is intimidating the three freaks.
"What are you standing there for? Attack!"
"R-Right, Houndoom, Dark Pulse!"
"Salazzle, Fire Spin!"
"Magmortar, use your Fire Blast and don't miss a thing!"
The three fired their pokemon moves at Gardevoir.
"Moonblast." I calmly said.
It wasn't your typical and usual Moonblast, in fact, it's a lot bigger, just like Greninja's Water Shuriken, it's size is almost the whole body of Gardevoir, and there are also few Moonblasts around her, and with that, she fired and the small ones deflected the other attacks, while the big one had its way and managed to hit the three, knocking them out instantly.
"N-No! You'll regret this!" The poachers said and ran away, leaving Meloetta's cave, they ran as fast as they can as they returned back their pokemons. Gardevoir was about to chase them but I stopped her.
"It isn't worth it Gardevoir, they'll just be caught soon, right now, Meloetta's life is at stake." I stated to her, she nodded in understanding and she reverted back in the original form, her horns disappeared in particles, and her 'gown' was now shorter, her small fairy wings also disappeared in particles.
The others also ran towards us.
"That was a nice display of power Ash." Diancie stated.
"Thank you Diancie, anyways," I then turned my gaze at the cage and ordered Gardevoir to break it with Psychic, she did her job and managed to let Meloetta out of there, I had Koharu get me a Hyper Potion and some few oran berries and treated her, she then woke up from unconsciousness and I lend her the berries. She accepted it and ate it happily.
"I'm glad you're fine Meloetta." I reassured, the others also nodded.
"Who are you?" Meloetta asked.
"What do you mean you don't know him? He's the one who saved Nimbasa!" Celebi then exclaimed, not believing at the fact that Meloetta herself didn't recognize him.
At the mention of Nimbasa City, her eyes widened and looked at the boy, she was so happy that she already met the one she's finding, Landorus was right, he's just in Kanto.
"Finally! I found you!" Meloetta squealed and then hugged me, and I also heard she's slightly sobbing.
"Wh-Why?" I asked, flabbergasted, she's searching for me?"
"I've been looking for you, the day we heard that it was you who saved Nimbasa City, I asked Landorus for your whereabouts, turns out he's right." Meloetta explained with a smile on her face.
"Wait what?" Leaf and Koharu said, surprised.
"I forced Landorus to give me your whereabouts and here I am, sadly I was found and caught by those bunch of creeps." She said and frowned.
"But on the other hand, I am happy that you, the one I've been searching for, was the one who saved me."
We were now surprised at what she just said, especially me, I didn't even know a certain mythical pokemon is searching for me.
"With that being said, I know where this one is going." Diancie said and smirked at Meloetta, and to our surprise, she smirked back.
"You got that one right Lady Diancie, I will also aid you Ash on your journey!" Meloetta beamed happily, Leaf and Koharu wasn't even surprised at that anymore, I think they got used to seeing me catching mythicals out of my will.
"And Ash, you have to also promise that you'll train Koharu! We can't forget what N said!" Leaf interjected, making Koharu blush madly.
"I didn't forgot that Leaf," I said and my body just acted on it's own, I removed my cap and placed it onto Koharu's head, she was surprised and continued on blushing madly and furiously.
"She's under our care, and I promised Professor Sakuragi to treat her right, right?" I said while petting my little sister, she just pouted at that but I also see her gave Koharu a sly smile, which again, she made those red tints on her cheeks, what's wrong with them?
"And for you Meloetta, this here is an Ultra Ball, press the button and you'll get sucked up, it might be a little dizzy, but you'll get used to it in no time." Ash said as he picked up an Ultra Ball and put it on the ground just in front of Meloetta, she stared at it for a moment and then clicked the button, sucking her up, it wiggled three times and made a sound notifying that she's caught, after that, I let her out and she greeted us happily.
"That thing felt cozy." She stated, making us sweatdrop.
"We're heading to Saffron in the morning, I'm afraid I have to let you stay in the pokeball when we arrive there Diancie." I said at the diamond pokemon, she nodded in understanding.
"It is fine Ash, I need my rest too." Diancie replied with a smile.
"And for you two, whether you'll stay in the ball or use your invisibility and stay just around me, anything is fine, it's just we might get attention when we go there." I reminded the two.
"We'll just hide ourselves, besides, I want to explore a city." The pink colored Celebi said.
"Likewish Ash, I would want to know more about you." Meloetta also said.
"That wraps it up, Leaf, Koharu, shall we head back? I'm sleepy now." I said and yawned, I am tired of the happenings this day.
The two agreed and we headed back to our camp, got our sleeping bags ready, and called it a night.
?'s POV
This is it, a month after and I will have my hands on those Ultra Beasts, I have awaited that time to happen, and this time, no one will interrupt my plans!
"Sir, the signals emitted that wormhole activities have activated, but haven't spotted wormholes appearing out of nowhere." One of my grunts said.
"That is fine, keep interrupting the signals to make that wormhole appear, and we'll infiltrate it."
"Yes sir!"
"Colress, how is the UB tracking?" I asked.
"Sir, we have spotted in the other dimentional world the presence of UB Symbiont and UB Absorption." Colress replied.
"Good work, keep on tracking them, they're good tools for my goal." I stated and laughed maniacally.
Ultra Beasts are beauty, and I'm going to use them to conquer the world! Team Rocket will soon prevail!
6Chapter 23
3rd Person's POV
In the Hall of Fame, where champions around the world conduct their serious conference about some matters, mainly about helding tournaments, but this time, it's different.
We can all see all champions in one place, Lance of Kanto and Johto, Drake of Orange Island, Steven of Hoenn, Cynthia of Sinnoh, Alder of Unova, Diantha of Kalos, and Leon if Galar, there is no current Alola champion so theres no one representing Alola.
There are also each region's elite four attending the conference, since their presence is highly needed.
"I see that everyone is already here." Alder announced, he's mainly the one started conducting since the scene happened to his region.
"Can this be held any other time? I have things to do." Drake said casually.
"Drake, this is a serious matter that neglects the rules of mega evolution." Steven stated, glaring at Drake, that in fact surprised Drake, and got his attention.
"What did you just said?" Drake asked, not sure if he heard that right.
"I said what I said, someone neglected the rules of mega evolution." Steven repeated, quite calm this time.
"I don't believe it." Drake stated.
"You'll believe when you see this," Alder said and let them watch the battle between the mysterious duo and Team Plasma, seconds later, they were shocked at the display of power those two did, and the clip paused at that scene.
"Wait, what is that?!" Cynthia exclaimed in disbelief, sure she hasn't got the news of the Nimbasa incident, and now that she saw it, her reaction is also the same as Alder's when he first saw it.
"That has to be some kind of sorcery!" The Galar undefeatable champion exclaimed.
"You would be able to believe it if that particular boy can also do two Gigantamax at the same time." Steven joked, Leon just glared at him.
"Jokes aside, can't you find that mysterious?" Diantha stated.
"Diantha..." Alain muttered, he was also there at the conference since he's also Diantha's accompany. Diantha heard him mutter and wondered.
"Something you can say about it Alain?" Diantha asked the man.
"That's them, I'm certain." Alain replied, still staring at the holographic screen. Diantha widened her eyed at that and double checked the face of the two, turns out he's right judging at the given appearance he said.
"You mean you battled that little girl over there?" Diantha said as she pointed out Leaf's being. Alain just nodded in response without saying a word. That also peaked the champions' interest.
"Boy, seriously? That girl beat you?" Asked the Hoenn champion.
"I was caught off guard, Mr. Steven, I was sure before that I can beat such girl of that appearance, turns out it backfired." Alain explained to him, and frowned.
"You shouln't have underestimated your opponents Alain." Cynthia stated and sighed.
"I am not aware of that before, Ms. Cynthia, the boy over there also said so, I deeply apologize and will promise that it'll not happen again, I'm sorry I disappointed you." Alain apologized and bowed slightly, still frowning.
"Now you don't want to stress out the one of my accompaniment." Diantha said and signalled them to calm things down.
However, as things go on, they noticed Lance is quiet all this time, Cynthia noticed this and decided to ask.
"Lance, is something troubling you?" Cynthia asked the Kanto and Johto champion, Lance was taken aback but regained his composure.
"I am very much fine Cynthia, thank you for asking." Lance replied politely.
"I noticed your quiet since the beginning of the conference, something on your mind?" She pushed further, hoping to hear some good answer.
"I'm just listening to the champion's conversation while being amused at that trainers over there." He calmly stated and pointed at the screen, which Cynthia understood.
"However, let's set aside this matter for now, the tournament is going to be held in one month." Alder stated.
"If that's what we will be talking about, then I'm confident that my wild card will conquer that tournament." Steven stated confidently.
"That boy Brendan? I heard he's been training hard under your care." Cynthia stated.
"It's true, that boy has been training non stop for this tournament." Steven replied.
"His career will end if Tobias will be the one who will battle him." Cynthia smirked confidently.
"He's just lucky he got himself a Latias, Latios and a Darkrai." Steven said, slightly annoyed at the mention of Tobias' name.
"We have some childish champions here." Leon said and sighed.
"I'm glad I don't have any wild card then." Drake said and casually laughed.
The others decided to not bicker up with there small arguement, but then that all stopped when Diantha asked something surprising.
"Lance, who's your wild card?" Diantha suddenly asked, making the small arguement stop and all eyes were on him now.
Lance tensed up at that question, he doesn't want to blow up Ash and Leaf's cover, so he calmed down unsuspisciously, he is known to not have any wild card from the start of his career, Drake had his wild card from the last tournament, but for Lance's, it's clean, no records of his wild card from history.
And at that question, he smirked at that.
"You'll just have to wait and see."
...
Ash and the others arrived at Saffron City, Diancie did her job and she was returned at her pokeball, leaving Meloetta and Celebi out, and had there invisibility activated, Meloetta's just sitting on Ash's left shoulder while Celebi on the other side.
"Ash, the tournament's coming, aren't you suppose to go train?" Leaf asked as they walked around the city.
"Come on Leaf, we already had that endless training a month ago." Ash groaned at the sound of training, sure his other pokemons had enough and wanted to take some good rest for awhile before taking on the tournament.
"What are we going to do here anyways?" Koharu was the one to ask, and now, that hit Ash, since they arrived there, he hasn't had any plans for what to do in the city.
"Now that you've mentioned it Koharu, I don't know." He stated and scratched his head sheepishly, the two girls facepalmed and fell anime style.
"How about we check out for some battles? It's been awhile since I had battles." Leaf stated, Koharu also agreed, that way, she can learn a thing or two from Leaf or Ash, depends on who will going to take on some battles.
"Well then, let's search for some ongoing battles." Ash said and they started walking, and after some five minute walk, they were lucky, they have found a somewhat thick crowd, so they assumed a battle was going on.
"Sceptile, finish this with Leaf Blade!"
"Follow Sceptile and use Shadow Claw Zoroark!"
"Both you two, dodge!"
The said pokemons ran in a fast pace and hit the opposing Gengar and Claydol with Shadow Claw and Leaf Blade respectively, both hit their marks and the two fainted on the spot.
"Claydol and Gengar are both unable to battle, this battle is owned by Brendan and Paul!" The referee yelled, and soon burst of cheers were heard throughout the crowd, Claydol and Gengar's trainers returned them and congratulated the winners and walked out from the crowd. Brendan and Paul also returned their pokemons and went back to their square.
"Anyone wants to battle the two?" The referee asked the crowd.
"Us! We want to battle them!" A girl voice boomed throughout them, Brendan and Paul looked for the source of the voice, and turns out it's Leaf, dragging Ash with him, Koharu just followed them, sweatdropping.
"Leaf what are you doing?" Ash asked her sister.
"Is it obvious? It's a double battle and I should have you beside me, battling them!" Leaf replied, Ash just groaned at that.
"Wait, seriously? A little girl wants to battle us?" The purple haired guy said in disbelief as she stared at the little girl.
"Little girl, did you know that we're wild cards of Hoenn and Sinnoh?" Brendan asked the girl.
Ash was interested at this, he didn't expect to meet the wild cards of two regions in one place.
"So?" Lead plainly replied, she had her poker face, with that being said, she gained the attention of the crowd, especially the two.
"She got some guts." Paul said.
"You're going to regret challenging us, girl." Brendan followed.
That peaked up Ash, he and Leaf went on the other side of the battlefield, Koharu was just close to them, she felt something on her shoulder and immediately knew Meloetta and Celebi sitting on her shoulders.
"Alright then, trainers, ready your pokemon!" The referee announced.
"Electivire, standby for battle!"
"Blaziken, let's go!"
The heavy electric type pokemon and the fire type Hoenn starter came out from the pokeball and did battle stances, Ash and Lead exchanged looks before throwing out their pokemons.
"Gardevoir, I choose you!" Both said in unison, and the two said pokemons came out, one being a shiny colored one
It gained attention from the crowd, the two had their attention on the blue one, since it's their very first time seeing one.
The two psychic pokemons stood elegantly on the battlefield, and got themselves ready.
"Battle begin!"
